Padua Performing Arts Presents ‘White Christmas’ Musical

Padua Franciscan Performing Arts presented White Christmas the Musical December 14-17, 2017. The show featured an all-star cast of Padua thespians, our first ever alumni chorus, beautiful costumes and breathtaking backdrops from our talented production crew and team of volunteers. Over 1,400 people joined us for an enchanting weekend full of song and dance, comedy, misunderstandings, romance and Christmas spirit as we staged one of the most beloved holiday favorites of all time.

About the Show

Based on the beloved, timeless film, this heartwarming musical adaptation features seventeen Irving Berlin songs and a book by David Ives and Paul Blake.
Veterans Bob Wallace and Phil Davis have a successful song-and-dance act after World War II. With romance in mind, the two follow a duo of beautiful singing sisters en route to their Christmas show at a Vermont lodge, which just happens to be owned by Bob and Phil’s former army commander. The dazzling score features well known standards including “Blue Skies,” “I Love a Piano,” “How Deep Is the Ocean” and the perennial favorite, “White Christmas.”
